  • About us

    Our purpose

    Our purpose is to drive commerce and prosperity through our unique diversity.

Home > About us > Who we are

We’ve been supporting clients ever since we first opened our doors in Mumbai, Kolkata and Shanghai in 1853 and – at our heart – we remain the ambitious, network-driven trading bank we set out to be over 170 years ago.

Our distinctive culture has been developed in pursuit of our purpose, delivering innovative solutions that create long-term value for our clients and communities.

We’re committed to promoting equality and inclusion, as it’s our diversity – of people, cultures and networks – that sets us apart and helps us find opportunities at every turn.

In everything we do, we’re guided by our stands, our valued behaviours, and our brand promise: here for good.

Our purpose shapes what we do every day, in delivering for our clients and in supporting the markets we call home.
